Collaborative Research: GPOTS 2011 & 2012

该奖项为2011年和2012年大平原运营商理论研讨会（GPOTS）与会者的费用提供支持。GPOTS 2011将于2011年5月18日至22日在亚利桑那州立大学举行，GPOTS 2012将于2012年5月30日至6月30日在休斯顿大学举行。这些会议将是动态的和专题性的，侧重于几个影响力大的领域。重点领域将包括C*-代数和冯诺依曼代数的分类;小波，框架及其应用;算子空间/系统及其应用;非自伴算子代数和函数理论之间的相互作用; C*-代数和冯诺依曼代数的动力系统;子因子;以及离散数学和算子代数之间的相互作用。会议的主题展示了算子代数、几何学和拓扑学之间令人惊讶的联系;框架理论和计算之间的联系;以及冯诺依曼代数、数学物理、概率和随机矩阵理论之间的关系。这些GPOTS会议将汇集经验丰富的和初级研究人员，包括研究生，和博士后讨论最近的工作和进展算子理论和算子代数。GPOTS会议是研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师的一个非常有吸引力和欢迎的场所，作为他们未来职业的跳板。2011-2012年GPOTS会议的优先事项将是建立网络，促进研究生，博士后和对算子理论和算子代数感兴趣的新教师进入算子理论和算子代数研究社区-特别强调代表性不足的群体。优先资助将给予研究生，其他年轻的研究人员和参与者没有其他支持，以及在数学代表性不足的群体的成员。除了推进数学领域外，GPOTS 2011-2012的主题还与工程，量子计算和数学物理有关。

This award provides support to defray expenses of participants in the 2011 and 2012 meetings of the Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium (GPOTS). GPOTS 2011 will be held at Arizona State University during the period May 18-22, 2011 and GPOTS 2012 will be held at the University of Houston during the period May 30-June 30, 2012. The meetings will be both dynamic and topical, focusing on several high-impact areas. The focus areas will include classification of C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras; wavelets, frames and their applications; operator spaces/systems and their applications; the interaction between non-selfadjoint operator algebras and function theory; dynamical systems for C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras; subfactors; and the interaction between discrete mathematics and operator algebras. The themes of the meetings demonstrate the surprising links among operator algebras, geometry, and topology; the connections between frame theory and computing; and the relationships among von Neumann algebras, mathematical physics, probability, and random matrix theory.These GPOTS meetings will bring together both experienced and junior researchers, including graduate students, and postdocs to discuss recent work and advances in operator theory and operator algebras. GPOTS conferences are an extremely attractive and welcoming venue for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, serving as a springboard for their future in the profession. A priority of the 2011-2012 GPOTS conferences will be to build up networks that facilitate the entry into the operator theory and operator algebras research community of graduate students, postdocs, and new faculty members who are interested in operator theory and operator algebras - with a particular emphasis on underrepresented groups. Priority for funding will be given to graduate students, other young researchers and participants without other support as well as members of groups underrepresented in mathematics. In addition to advancing areas of mathematics, the subject matter of GPOTS 2011-2012 has connections to engineering, quantum computing and mathematical physics.
